So for an extra £200 a month you can live in that massive house in Australia with a pool opposed to a dinky 3 bed semi just off the council estate in the UK - no brainer!
I would lucky to spend more the $100 a year on chemicals for my salt pool. I live in Adelaide. Its cheap to run, the spa on the other hand uses a lot of power. Solar helps.
Total garbage. A five bedroom house in Australia is way more expensive than most 3 bedrooms here. I sold a four bedroom home in Melbourne in 2017 for over $650,000 it would be close to a million now. Yes you get a bigger home but we lived a hour out of the city. Comparing Aussie homes to those in the UK is pointless. You will be paying more in Australia but it will be bigger. Australia is only for the rich now, if you are poor in the UK you will be poorer in Australia.
Really helpful video. In the last few weeks alone the energy bills in the UK have gone up by an average 54% per household. Mine have basically been doubled. Council tax and national insurance has both gone up as well. Making the cost difference probably even smaller. That aside the my partner and I have been watching your videos for a while now and have really helped us conclude the move would be right for us. The value added for Australia is the lifestyle, the weather and space. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Living in Australia right now and the cost of living here is very high and rising! Food is rising, energy bills, petrol and you need cars as public transport may as well be non existent. As for Furniture, bedding, electronics etc always been more expensive than the uk. The isolation here if you don't have family is also pretty bad. So just some things to consider but tbh once you have the itch to move i know what its like and nothing will stop you!
My home insurance in Canada is $1600 for a year and our cell phone costs are one of the highest in the world. The currency in Canada is basically the same value as Australia but Australia has higher wages for the most part. It's very expensive in Canada !
Ross and 2 beautiful ladies, Thank you for the comparison but I wish you had mentioned under water costs that you had a 10,000 gallon or so pool to be kept topped up every so often to ensure maintenance. Would have made the comparison seem even more comparable, if that is a phrase I can use!!! Congrats on bringing a new Aussie into the world, so happy for your family. Bat on!! Bruce
Some thing to take into consideration is, at the moment, 1 Australian dollar is equivalent to 0.59 pound. Which makes a big difference to these prices overall
As an Australian, our health industry is through the universe. People cant afford private cover. Many people now dont bother with doctors. Also, all business rent here has all " collapsed " Management can't afford to pay rent . So, a lot of small businesses are closing here. There are alot of homeless low income people here , who are finding it very hard to make ends meet.
I immigrated in 1990 from England and Australia used to be so so much cheaper to live, housing, food, everything was cheaper, 32 years on its so expensive now.
Another interesting video and very relevant to us as we are looking at retuning to Brisbane to retire shortly after 30 years working in the UK. I am sure the place has changed considerably since we were living there and your videos give us a great insight into how far our pensions will go. I know it is a bit specific but more info on your solar system would be interesting We installed one on our house in the UK and as long as pick your moments to run things it can save you quite a bit. With the amount of sun you get in Aus I could imagine your electricity cost will drop significantly, especially if have a storage battery installed. Thanks for a great video.
Interesting video. It is difficult to compare prices from one place to another when your home is significant difficult to the one you left in the UK. It is too long since I left the UK to do a similar comparison but I found insurance particularly expensive in NZ, our water rates are included in our rates, which seem expensive, the joy of living in a small township as opposed to a more populous city. My partner and I are both earning more in NZ than we did in the UK but the significant difference is job security, and the opportunity to move on to something better. In the UK it seemed hard to find a role in the same industry let alone change industries, here they give more opportunity and see skills as transferable.
Great insight into life in Brisbane Ross. I've been binge watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. Always loved the idea of living in Australia, takes alot of courage. Thinking of taking the leap of faith within a year or so. In your opinion is £50000 enough to set up over there? Keep the video's coming matey!!!
Long story short, prices are about the same, bit cheaper in Aus. Aus you get lower quality houses but much bigger living space. UK the houses are better built, but much smaller and less living space. Aus wins for the simple reason that DETACHED is not a feature reserved for rich people only. In UK you aren't getting a detached for less than 300k (Approx 600k aus) my cousin just bought a detached in Ipswhich, QLD for 350k aud ( approx 175k gbp) One thing about Aus that I did notice is that you don't have to move to far from aa major City to experience big drop in prices. UK has this thing called commuter belt (like a virus that spreads from cities to increase house prices) where if a town or a city is in anyway connected to a major city like London by easy motorway access or a train station, you will find that the prices are very high and since UK is very small, you will very often find yourself near one of these commuter belts, meaning you have to live very remote or in the north to get a good price.
Just a tip with woolies insurance you can save 10% on 1 in store shop & 10% on 1 online shop (click & collect). This saving over the year can essentially pay for your insurance policy. :)
When it comes down to it money really doesn't come into it , I'd wager that you wouldn't be any better off even if you were a millionair in England its all about quality of life . I'm sure that people could be perfectly happy living anywhere as long as your free and have the necessities of life . Its all about what you've already got , that whirlwind bundle of future mayhem and pure joy , my baby girl is now 50 yrs old and I've just attended my granddaughters wedding so I'm hoping I get to hold agreat grandbrat one day and I hope that they are as happy as your anklebiter obviously is and all that happiness comes without a price tag .
Oh lordy that one is handful. She wouldn't like me, grumpy old man syndrome. It's going to be fun when the newbie comes along. You'd have to better off, just the sun alone makes it all worthwhile. But I guess your introduction to Queensland weather has been a bit on the wild side. Luckily no cyclones but winter is approaching and there's always a couple form up north so that'll be fun for you to experience.
You should take Aurora (I'm not sure if that's the right spelling) to see the Aurora Australis one day and say that it's named after her....she spends so much time making you laugh!
Hi guys! Thank you so much for this c=video. such a great help. I am in the process of immigrating to australia from Liverpool 😂 Your inputs of comparison are so helpful

Hello, recently discovered your channel and we have devoured all your videos, we are close to submitting our visa - should be lodged this week or next at latest and we are hopeful we will get the decision in a matter of weeks (having been invited via an EOI) We plan to live in Bundaberg - my family are there- we are from UK, and have so many questions.

Very informative. The life is good here despite the flood recently. Please include your mom in the future videos sometimes, we’d love yo hear her pov about seeing you guys after two years, and about you guys moving to the opposite side of the world!
Tasmanian prices have sky rocketed in the past two years. Home prices have jumped $200 000 plus, hard to get rentals for under $500/week. Land prices near to where i live have increased from $125 000 to $350 000 in the past 3 years. Don't get me started about health care costs, for me to see the gp it is $91 per visit. There are pension discounts. Very few gp's bulk bill, accept Medicare payments only so you are paying over and above prices compared to the Medicare rebate. So before coming to Australia do your homework. The pound is worth more than the Australian dollar so you will have a few more pennies when you get here. The pandemic has made things much more expensive.
In UK my biggest expense was always Council Tax but it sounds like that is also a significant bill in Australia. I now live in Croatia where there is no property tax!
I'm coming down from the US for the first time and have never had to compare the two currencies and the best way to make them work. Any suggestions? Thanks 👍
Very insightful video , do you know how much school costs (up to uni level)I couldn’t really seem to find a price other than it’s supposed to be very expensive
Love your videos they have been reassuring to me that we are doing the right thing by trying to get over to Australialand. Can I ask did you have to do much waiting around before buying your home in regards to mortgage? and showing savings?
I would get your visiting rellies to get their $Aussie now - it is at a 4 year high against the £. I might be wrong but I think it will only get worse. We export coal, lpg gas, wheat etc all of which will be impacted by Ukraine. Aussie exports over 50% food grown here whereas UK imports nearly 50%. Plus prior to Brexit average was around 47 cents - it is now 58 cents - again that might get worse with the way Brexit is going. Bad if you want to emigrate - but makes UK visits cheaper for us.
One small expense they have in the UK that Australians don't have is a TV license? Around £159 per year also is running a car more expensive in the UK or Australia I know petrol is cheaper here but running expenses like rego and 3rd party insurance? Cheers guys very interesting 👍.
Hi. I have been watching several of your videos and found them really helpful. My partner and I really considering moving to Australia. Can you tell us how is the tax there compare to UK

we have converters here that you plug your international goods into and they will work like they did in the UK or America for example(converters are usually around $50 AUD depending on where you buy them of course)
These figures are totally made up. I left Melbourne in 2015 and our monthly utilities bill was in the $500 region. No way would your bill be that low without solar and I’m sure you have factored in the cost of that. The mortgage amount might be ok but a house that size in Queensland’s would be twice if not three times the cost of a three bedroom in UK.

@ThatJohnstonLife I have friends in Yorkshire and I try explain too them about the climate here compared to England 🏴. I can't wait for the day they come and visit 🌏
ID do anything to move to Australia right now I'm really sick of England the government is a joke and the fact that we are paying high electric and gas it feels like campaign rent all over again between 5:00 pounds for a flat 1:00 pounds for a flat 2 bedroom flat for gasoline electric is extortious now it's starting to go up in April which I'm trying to get my head around 500 pounds a month is too much for a electric and gas is too much for a 2 bedroom flat
I know some females who have no idea about finances and their husbands will only give them a weekly allowance and no credit card. I would hate that but I understand why they do it otherwise they would be in over their heads in no time.
So for an extra £200 a month you can live in that massive house in Australia with a pool opposed to a dinky 3 bed semi just off the council estate in the UK - no brainer!
